Moonstone Beach Boardwalk — Attraction in Cambria

This approximately 1-1.5mi boardwalk has forested views on one end and bluff views on the other, with nature doing its thing everywhere in between. We saw cotton-tail rabbits, brush bunnies, and various coastal birds and caught a squirrel chowing down on a Pride of Madeira like it was corn on the cob. No sea life, but enjoyed watching the surfers from various lookouts along the path. If there was a show to be had by whales this would be a great place to see it.

I’m actually at a loss for words to describe the beauty and the profound feelings I have whenever I’m actually walking the boardwalk. I actually enjoyed the walk with my partner this time.

People are walking with their dogs and babies and are...

I loved, loved this walk today. It’s an easy and relaxing walk along the beach with outstanding views of the ocean. I’d like to suggest to senior tourists like me to access the trailhead from the Santa Rosa Creek parking lot which has straight access to the boardwalk. The other option is to park at Shamel Park which requires one to go down to the beach on a not very safe way and then up to the boardwalk on the other end. Do not miss it,...
